Sketches in Thyme December

Happy holiday!

Can you believe the year is almost over?  I can't!  I was inspired this month by the latest sketch challenge at Sketches in Thyme to make this fun layout.  I used photos from last Christmas of my hubby reading The Night Before Christmas to my kids.  It's an annual event at our house.

I know December is a busy month for most people but can you ever be too busy to scrap!?  lol  So run on over and be inspired to scrap at Sketches in Thyme!

Thanks for looking!  Until next time...happy scrapping!

Now it's time for the  

October 2018 Song Inspiration/Word or Phrase Challenge:

ADD MONTHLY BOX

The song for October is:

 "You're Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins"

She was staring out the window of that SUV

Complaining, saying "I can't wait to turn eighteen"

She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules"

Momma put the car in park out there in front of the school

She kissed her head and said "I was just like you"

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new bride

In her one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by

He tells her "It's a nice place"

She says "It'll do for now"

Starts talking about babies and buying a house

Daddy shakes his head and says "Baby, just slow down"

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

I You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fasth

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater

Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'

One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'

She keeps apologizin'

He says "They don't bother me

I've got two babies of my own

One's thirty six, one's twenty three

Huh, it's hard to believe, but

You're gonna miss this

You're gonna want this back

You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna miss this

You're gonna' miss this

Yeah

You're gonna' miss this
